No one is killing anyone by smoking outside. It is incredibly stupid to think that second hand smoke outside could possibly kill anyone. Ive done the research and the truth is that second hand smoke is not nearly as bad as the government leads ppl to beleive, the bans are not even really about safety its about demonizing smoking. Reasearch the actual studies and do the math and you will see. And also, smokers are not selfish because they light up around a non smoker. Non smokers are getting there way with everything, They have everyplace, including bars to be away from it. Smokers however have essently nothing anymore. If anything the non smokers are selfish, the bans have gone way too far and thats not good enough for some of them. They are going to just have to deal with it, smokers certainly put up with a ton of ignorant shit now. Even if they was to pass a law banning smoking from outdoors they could never enforce it. In fact, a few bar owners I know dont even enforce it after 7pm.

So the uk finally moves from nanny state to bully state, Oh well I have the right to light up outside if I so wish to choose to and will continue to do so.
It's not like they will send me to the chair as I'll just end up smoking there.

Labour the party for the working class? my a***.
It will be a long time before they ever get in power again.
They really have gone too far with this one I'm afraid and will be heavily opposed.
Tell me when this thread is updated!
